Where I live, the streets have very poor quality and a horrifying aesthetic.

When I drive, I pay attention to traffic lights and pedestrians crossing the road. If I don't know the address, I read the signposts to find my way. I avoid driving on motorways because I find them dangerous, so I stick to driving within my city, navigating roundabouts, junctions, and streets. I also make sure to park my car carefully so it doesn’t touch the kerb.

In my country, the traffic is chaotic. During rush hour, it is not uncommon to see motorbike driving on the pavement, motorbikes driving in car lanes and vice versa

Where I live there are a lot of roundabouts, traffic lights and junctions, that often are very dangerous for pedestrians. My city isn't designed for pedestrian and people riding bicycles, because the streets are too small and congested, while the pavements are too small for two pedestrians.

There are here a lot of junctions, mostly with traffic lights. We almost have signposts around so that it is almost impossible to get lost.Kind police officers are always in the area., so it is safe.

In the big cities traffic is a terrible. Many cars, many people go from somewhere to somwhere. During rush hours you can hear a lot of klaxon and probably you can feel like you will crazy yourselves. Many local manager advices us that do not drive at rush hours if we don't have emergency situation.During rush hours we can use subways, buses, trams and, trains.

Where I live there are various streets with roundabout, signposts and traffic light. Is very common to see roundabout anywhere because are more safer than traffic lights. We have a main road called M30 which cross for the centre of city.
